This was expressed in a meeting between Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif and senior Czech government and military leaders.
Gen Raheel Sharif landed in Prague on Wednesday on a day-long visit of the Czech Republic.
According to Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa, upon arriving at the Czech Defence Ministry, Gen Raheel was presented with a guard of honour. The army chief then held separate meetings with the Czech Chief of General Staff General Josef Becvar and Deputy Defence Minister Jakub Landovsky.
“Issues of mutual interest, military-to-military [relations] and defence cooperation were discussed,” Lt Gen Bajwa said. Both the Czech CGS and deputy defence minister expressed special interest in training of their officers by the Pakistan Army.
Gen Raheel had stopped over in Prague after completing a two-day tour of Germany. The visits follow similar visits to Pakistan by the Czech CGS earlier in 2016.
